But good lap man, your FJ has a ton of power, it pulls on me like crazy. EDIT: yee haw I have the fastest Jimmy NA. Neat.




I just edged you out again but I think I'm at my limit without switching to manual, I tried your Jimmy tune out and its very good. If you can make it even better with the diesel swap it will be absolutely insane.

Has anyone found good spots to farm skill points with off-road vehicles? I remember in Horizon 4, you could just make loops up and down a beach with some sand dunes to rack up easy skill combos, but I haven't run across anything like that in FH5 yet

The dunes on the west edge of the map along with the areas around them where they start to transition into other biomes are fantastic for generating offroad points. Get a car and tune it for rally driving and you’ll be drowning in jumping and drifting points before you know it.

So now that it's been out for a bit: anyone picked up on hot, steamy tips and settings for running this with a wheel. I'm perfectly happy with the default settings, but I'm sure there might be tweaks and such to do.

Especially interested in stuff that might help with drifting, as that is now my giant to kill.

It used to do this in FH4 too and when playing with others you can see them dance in their car if they have a skillsong going, it's pretty funny.

Just to the east of the stadium there is an area with vegetation, small trees and fences that you can just spin around on forever to rack up the skillpoints. All it lacks are jumps, haven't found a similar place to the beach yet though, that place was crazy easy to rack up scores at.

The actual beach to the west of the dunes is decent, lots of small hilly bits you can kangaroo off pretty well, it lacks a ton of wreckage items tho.

You need stuff to wreck because that what gives you the most points as it combos with a lot of different stuff. But the best is jumps + wrecking of course.

I had to use the Forza Edition Mercedes racing truck for the Horizon Tour event and that is a very funny vehicle with how effective it is in stock tune at A800. It feels so much better than the Unimog tuned up to A800.

The 2 5K bonus boards on the highway - the powerline board and the board that is stationed on top of the highway bridge supports - are very annoying to get.

If anyone is having stutter issues:

Setting the process priority to real time in task manager eliminated nearly all of the stutters and sub-60 drops I have been having when environment texture quality and environment geometry quality were set to anything above high. Etreme preset@4k + FXAA.

Gotta do it every time you launch the game but that is a small price to pay for a smooth 60.

Is there a way to have Spotify playing but still be able to hear the actual sound effects and engine noises and such at an audible level? The music is way louder than everything else, the sound effects are still there but barely audible. Tried messing around with the audio toggles but nothing seems to fix it.

E: series x, if that matters/helps

Put the RADIO slider to 0 in the Forza settings then open up Spotify on your Xbox, choose your playlist and switch back to Forza. Sometimes I can just open Spotify from my phone and choose my One X for the device to play through, but that doesn’t always work for me. Regardless once you’ve got Spotify playing you can control the volume level in game with your phone volume controls.

It’s an accolade point threshold. Once you have enough point to unlock all the chapters, it counts up to HoF entry. Then it keeps counting.

IMO the HoF threshold is way too low. It doesn’t check if you’ve unlocked chapters or completed anything. I hardly did any of the story stuff and hadn’t unlocked half of the chapters or even all of the outposts before I was in the hall of fame. Mostly I got there by arsing about in the open world and doing PR stunts.

Best thing about GRCC besides being in a fun community is getting goons onto the game's various leaderboards, since I only have a handful of people on my friend's list that actually play forza. As far as honking, default is clicking right stick, but if you're not a manual w/ clutch driver I highly recommend rebinding horn to LB.

Ended up taking a danger sign at the same time as a rando, and it uh, didn't work out quite as well for them.
